It¡¯s one of those fleeting parenting moments when my normally nonstop high-volume children are awake, but silent. The reason for this? They are studiously poring over a table covered with a neatly aligned assortment of wood cutouts ¡ª a cat, a witch, a star, a moon, a pumpkin ¡ª and, unusually quiet in concentration, they are brushing on thick pastel paints.
It¡¯s a rare occasion of mid-weekend calm that I savor ¡ª first sipping an organic juice before indulging in some retail therapy as I wander around the small stands that surround the crafts table and peruse an array of stylish children¡¯s clothing.
This unexpectedly serene window in an otherwise hectic Sunday took place at a recent Small is More event, a regular pop-up organized by Abi Loves that brings together children¡¯s craft workshops with a carefully curated selection of super chic Japanese children¡¯s wear brands.
